For subscibers: CDO all but toyed with state playoff opponents, beating Phoenix Brophy Prep 26-4 in the semifinals and rolling over Glendale Deer Valley 11-5 in the championship game.
Greg Hansen Tucson’s all-city baseball team of 1980 included future major leaguers Tom Pagnozzi of Rincon, Mark Carreon of Salpointe Catholilc and Jim Olander and Sam Khalifa of Sahuaro, although some argued that Sunnyside third baseman David Page, who hit .539, or Sahuaro home run king Wes Kent were better.
From 1994-2001, CDO became something of a major-league baseball factory, producing big-league players Colin Porter, Jason Stanford, Shelley Duncan, Chris Duncan, Brian Anderson, Ian Kinsler and Scott Hairston. CDO was so good in 1994 that it all but toyed with state playoff opponents, beating Phoenix Brophy Prep 26-4 in the semifinals and rolling over Glendale Deer Valley 11-5 in the championship game. It beat its last three playoff opponents by a combined score of 46-11.
"We had 12 future college players," he says, and to make sure there is no exaggeration, he lists all 12: After leaving CDO, Wright moved to the greater Chicago area to teach and coach softball and baseball. He returned to Tucson a few years ago.
